Please allow me to introduce you to our children. These are all old pictures, but they're the best I have at hand.

Our oldest son is named Yoshi. We got his name from the big green dinosaur. He is a flame point colored Ragdoll just over 4 years old and our pride and joy. He is adorable and sweet in every way. He always follows us around, so no matter where you sit or stand, if you turn around chances are he'll be right there rubbing his handsome face against you. He had a bad bladder condition that requires prescription food and he also has a vomiting problem. (There are very few clean areas left on the carpet of our entire home.)

Our youngest son is named Kiko. We'd like to claim it is derived from the Japanese word meaning 'white snow' but in reality it's from a bottle of Kikkoman soy sauce. He is a very intelligent white Maltepoo (half Maltese, half Poodle) approaching 3 years old. He flew to us from Texas, and we thought he was a cute little maniac when we held him at the airport for the first time even though he was covered in pee. We trained him from the start to use dog litter and he's very good about it, only occasionally standing half-way in and puddling up all over the floor, but hey at least we don't have to walk him. The standard dog litter is very high maintenance as it starts to stink and you need to clean it constantly, so we developed our own system with a thick layer of cat litter beneath the layer of dog litter and now his liquid messes are always neat, tidy, enormous, manageable clumps.
